Throwing the season away (7 Viewers)

[oucho]

Famous last words from that League One Mowbray season.

We're top, hoorah!

We're 3rd, still good.

We're 4th. We're still in the playoffs.

We're 5th, but still only 3 points off the top 2.

We're still 5th and still only 5 points off the top 2.

We're 6th. We're still in the playoffs.

We're 7th. We're still only 1 point off the playoffs.

We're still 7th and we're still only 4 points off the play-offs.

We're 8th, but we're still only 6 points off the play-offs ........

Yeah and we all had to put up with your moaning and constant insistence that we had no chance of recovering.

Provided we finish relatively near the play-off spots, we've had a good season in my book (considering the clusterfuck that was the 15 months before Robins arrived)

Define relatively near for me , given the size of the league and playoffs top 7

Top half.

Yea, all is looking good ?
How fans expectations have slipped for this once great club.

If we don't get out this year we won't for a long time.

On what basis is this season a one shot deal? Last time I checked, if we don't go up this season we are still eligible to compete for promotion the following season....

If we dont go up name the players we will lose? All the good ones!. Then find the good players who want to come play in this league.

Thats the concern

Your another that needs to get over themself

It’s a football forum oh and yes you were another giving me shite about sacking Robins , yea you are are a real expert on football , full of content and objective . Yes a real expert and I note as well a chipper on of crap

Well, if I am annoying someone who thinks it’s okay to use terms which are disparaging for children with Downs Syndrome then I must be doing something right. Yes, it is a football forum. Does that mean anything goes? Okay to be racist, homophobic, sexist? Okay to throw in the N word because it’s a football forum? I don’t think any of these are acceptable and neither should the term you used be as it’s offensive.

I find it interesting I have had pelts abuse on here , ( retard , c , w, ) is that ok then ?

 

[oucho]

By the way no one is gloating here , I am devastated , get Judas out

How many pints have you had?

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

It’s funny I get that stuff when proven right and also I have never swore on here....

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

How many pints have you had?

Are you suggesting that I am drunk ?

 

[oucho]

Are you suggesting that I am drunk ?

Yes.

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

I don’t think the use of any abusive terms is justified by you or anyone else. I think anyone who uses the word “retard” in a conversation is as bad as someone who uses the word “mong”.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Is this because last week you tried to make me believe that MR is the man for the job and now back peddling ?

By the way not drunk , more amused at you all back peddling

 

[clint van damme]

I find it interesting I have had pelts abuse on here , ( retard , c , w, ) is that ok then ?

the c word as you call it can be thrown at anyone and is not aimed at any particular race, creed or colour. The term you used has a very specific meaning and is offensive to a specific group of people who have to endure prejudice which makes it's use slightly more sinister than a generic profane term.

Yep it’s all been said but strangely today people jumping on my back after last week dismay at MR , especially and interestly by those who berated me . Hmmm no ones gloating I just confused how people cannot see the obvious

I'm not back-peddling on anything - I have always backed MR and have said that he should be given another 2 years within reason, including if we stay down this season and next time too. Perhaps in your hazy state you're confusing me with someone else.

Once you've sobered up are you going to apologise for using the word "mongs" as a derogatory term of abuse on this forum?

No that’s rubbish

To you it is, which is proof enough that I'm in the right.

Pathetic.

Time for bed, you need to sleep it off. Read all this back tomorrow and then give yourself a slap.

It took Pompey 2 seasons to get out of league 2. They own their own stadium and we’re getting 18k week in, week out.

 

[clint van damme]

Enjoy

i don't get any enjoyment knowing there are people like you wearing their prejudices with belligerent pride I'm afraid.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

You need to realise Ouch that your opinion is yours that’s your privilege, with that comes great responsibility in that you must not dismiss others opinions , else they will dismiss yours equally .

You beat me to it. Exactly. People on here need to get a reality check.

I was right though. I said the play offs were out of the question and it proved to be the case. The slide season was an accident waiting to happen unfortunately.

My opinion is that spitting terms like "mongs" at people in a way obviously implying derision is pathetic for someone who we must assume is a sentient (albeit inebriated) adult. Just my opinion. And that of everyone else on this thread apart from you.

 

[oucho]

Well it wasn't out of the question but it turned out poorly. Just because you said we had no chance (and you turned out to be right) didn't mean it was impossible for us to turn it around. From early March you were saying it was all over when it clearly was not.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

I rest my case , indeed it is you that have been drinking

 

[Otis]

Top half.

Top half but no playoffs is not a good sesson.

Robins said the aim was promotion and we were third favourite with the bookies for promotion and considering we are 31 matches in and hardly been out of the top 7 all campaign so far, I would say top half would be deemed as a total failure.

 

[clint van damme]

but the worry is, Crowds will reduce, playing budget will reduce and the spiral towards another relegation begins.

It seems we've a given right to go straight up.

It very clearly was though. Abundantly clear that Mowbray wasn't going to turn it around and he even said so himself. He said he couldn't turn it round.
